The Not Now Silly headline-collecting robot drones have been behaving oddly lately. While they have no heads, it sure seems like they are putting them together. If I didn’t know any better, I’d say they were talking about me.

Headlines Du Jour ► Friday, January 3, 2014

, , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

What makes a headline good enough for Headlines Du Jour? The biggest criteria is that it has to be interesting to me. I figure it’ll also interest at least one of my readers. Being funny, or absurd doesn’t hurt, either. However, more than anything else it has to be attractive to my robot drones, which do all my headline picking now. Let’s get right to today’s Headlines Du Jour.

Headlines Du Jour ► January 2, 2014

, , , , , , , , , , , , ,

I was recently asked, “What makes a Headline Du Jour?” The first line of defense, as always, is my army of drone robots. They spend the long nights traversing the innertubes, collecting only the best headlines — at the peak of perfection. The hardest part is keeping the robot drones from becoming self-aware, which is why I’ve limited their RAM. Let’s get right to today’s Headlines Du Jour.

When Not Now Silly fired all the headline collecting interns and replaced them with robot drones, I thought life would get simpler. That has not proven the case. While they don’t agitate for days off, I think the drones have become sentient. Don’t look them directly in the eye and you should be fine.
